I ran the dishwasher today
I finally went to get my analog watch battery and band replaced because I’m tired of wearing an Apple Watch
I started the process for rolling my old employer 401ks over to my new one. I’m annoyed I’ll have to forward checks on and also will be very glad to have less cognitive clutter
I picked up my analog watch! Also I did FOUR loads of laundry (which meant so many stairs going down to the basement and back up).
Maybe tomorrow I’ll tackle dealing with an old, abandoned bank account.
